With a view to obviate the great difficulty experienced by Amateurs (par- 
ticularly in country houses) in obtaining Scenery, Ac, to &x in a Drawing Room, 
and then only by considerable outlay for hire and great damage caused to walls, 
we have decided to keep a series of Coloured Scenes Mounted on Canvas 
with roller, or they can be had unmounted on thirty sheets of strong papet 
and can be joined together or pasted on canvas or wood, according to require 
ment Full direi tions, with diagrams shewing exact size of Back Scenes, Borders, 
and Wings, can be had free on application. The following scenes are kept in 
Itnck. 




Kept in two sizes. The size of the back scene of the smaller one is nearly, lu feet long 
and 6i feet high, and extends with the Wings and Border to 15 feet long and 8 feet 
high. The back scene of the large one is 13 feet long and 9 feet high and extends 
with the Wings and Border to 20 feet long and 11J leet high. It is not necessary 
to have the scene the height of the room, as blue paper to represent sky is usually 
i.ung at the top.

LADY FLORA'S NAMESAKE 



(A DUOLOGUE) 

Scene. — A cosy comer, in an ante-room, at the Elite 
Rooms {Piccadilly), where a ball is in progress. 
Soft waltz music. 

(Lady Flora enters, obviously in a rage ; followed, 
at a respectful distance, by her partner, for the next 
dance. ) 

She {in tearful agitation). Oh ! The wretch ! 
The wretch ! If I can only discover him ! The 
things he said behind my back 

He {to attract attention). Excuse me — 

She {starting and turning). I beg your pardon — 
I didn't see you — I thought I was alone. 

He. I hope I'm not intruding ? But, this is 
our dance, I believe. 

She {distracted, and bent upon getting rid of him). 
Is it ? {Looking at card.) I'm sorry— I don't recall 
your name. 

He {laughing). I don't believe I ever heard 
yours ! Our host clutched me, almost literally, by 
the scruff of my neck, dragged me up to a group of 
half a dozen ladies, mumbled their names incoherently 
and left the sorting out to my discretion. I booked 
one dance/. {Consults card.) No. 13. You will find 
against it the initials R.T., which stand for your 
humble servant, Reginald Travers. 



6 LADY FLORA'S NAMESAKE. 

She {scanning her card reluctantly), I suppose 
that's meant for a T. 

He. ..jYou seem to have made up your mind that 
J \m ; '.an . impostor. 

She '{with sudden vehemence). All men are impos- 
tors!. . 

He. .Really 

She., You asked me, just now, if you were intruding 

well— you are! I may as well tell you that I 
came here, by ir^/self, on purpose to have a good cry. 

(She sinks on the settee, and buries her face in the 
cushions.) 

He {alarmed). Oh! I say, don't! You'll' spoil 
your.— — 

She; {glaring round at him). Make-up? Why 
don't you say it? I suppose that's what you mean. 

He (indignantly). I meant nothing of the kind— 

She. You needn't consider my feelings — I haven't 
any left ! They are all torn to shreds. 

He. Good heavens ! 

She. Torn to shreds — like my character, and — 
and — (exploding into cushions) — complexion. 

(He looks round anxiously, then crosses, and seats 
» M himself beside her.) 

He (soothingly). I say ! Don't go on like that— 
people will come rushing in, and think you have 
been .illrtreated. : 

SHE;, , I have been ill-treated. Abominably ill- 
treated. I have never had such atrocious things 
saictiaibout me, in all my life. 

He' (impatiently). But how — when— where— and 
by whom ? 

Sm > (sitting up. and making much of her voice). 
By a man; I've > never met, or seen, or even heard of 
before. (Buries her face in cushions, and shudders.) 



LAlK' FLORA'S NAMESAKE 7 

He (bending forward and speaking very softly to the 
back. of her head). Why, when 1 first caught a glimpse 
of you among all the fashionable waxworks, I thought 
— there's a little ,girl who looks as if she had just 
come in from making daisy-chains, or gathering 
dewdrops, or something as dainty and refreshing ! 
I could see real sunshine in your hair — and only the 
touch of the 'wind, for toilet powder! (Change of 
tone.) And, tvay. there's the thunder shower ! Will 
you let me, at least, offer you the shelter of my 
sympathy ? 

She (turning towards liim, rather shame/ast, bui 
still tremulous). You are very kind — it is a relief 
to have some one to confide in — though 1 couldn't 
possibly repeat all the things the wretch said about 
me. (Confidentially beginning.) Well, listen : I was 
waiting for my partner to bring me an ice, when 1 
was startled to hear my name mentioned, just behind 
thejscreen where 1 was sitting. The wretch made a 
remark about my colour 

(Stops short, and plays with her Urn.' 

(Looking up, defiant.) That it had lately been 
greatly improved by artificial means. 

He (observing her closely). Unpardonable ! Then? 

She. He said when first he saw me— Oh ! 1 can't 
tell you ! 

He (urgently). Please, go on. 

She. That he discovered me climbing up some- 
thing or other, and that he had never sr n any one 
so forward before ! 

He (incredulous). Are you sure you hear*] ; right ? 

She. Ouite sure. 



He. What else did he say ? 









She (lookitij; away). That's the worst part of all. 
He (w iff; exaggerated horror). Something w».i-* 
still ? 



8 LADY FLORAS NAMESAKE. 

She. He actually had the audacity to say that 
he fell in love with me on the spct. 

He. Well, you can't number bad taste as one of 
his sins. 

She. Don't you understand that I have never 
seen the man in my life, and that all he said was 
absolute fabrication from beginning to end ? 

He. You haven't seen him, but there is the possi- 
bility that he might have seen you. 

She. Near enough to discover that my complexion 
had been "improved"! 

He. It is incomprehensible ! But how are we 
to bring the villain to book ? 

She. I should know his voice among a thousand. 
He (rising). Then it is very simple. Take my 
arm, and I undertake to engage in conversation every 
male in the room. 

She (pouting). You are making fun of me. 
He. I assure you, nothing is further from my 
mind. Will you come ? 
She (starting). Wait ! 
He. What's the matter now ? 
She. It has suddenly occurred to me. 
He. What? 

She (slowly). Your voice is exactly like — the 
wretch's ! 

He. Well, that's a nice thing to say after all 
you have been telling me ! 
She. I wonder I never noticed it before. 
He. I can scarcely be guilty of taking your name 
in vain, considering I do not even know it, and have 
never seen you before, i 

She: (taking guarded stock of him). N— no. (Sud- 
den change of manner, and speaking very quickly.) 
I will try and forget it for a while — let's talk of some- 
thing else. 

(Seats himself beside her, and takes her fan.) 

She. Have I met you before, this season ? 



LADY FLORA S NAMESAKE. 9 

He (fanning her). I am a stranger to this kind 
of function. To tell you the truth, London bores me 
to death, as a rule. I am a countryman by habit 
and inclination. (Shrugs.) The only clubs to which 
I claim membership are horticultural. I am an 
authority on gardening subjects, and I specialize 
in sweet peas. 

She. You must have been dreadfully bored to- 
night ? 

He. As a matter of fact, I haven't ! 1 came 
across a man who is a member of one of my clubs, 
and our talk was so engrossing, that it almost made 
me forget this dance. 

She (coyly). What could the subject of your con- 
versation have been ? 

He. Oh ! it wouldn't interest you, in the least. 

She. I am quite curious, all the same. Do tell 
me. 

He. Well now, confess ! It would bore you to 
death were I to begin expatiating upon the charms pi 
the Lady Flora Somerleas 

She (interrupting, breathlessly). Lady Flora Somer- 
leas ? 

He. Do you know her ? 

She. Oh, I — I've seen her. 

LIe (enthusiastically). Don't you think she is a 
ripper ? 

She. Well, I am scarcely in a position to say. 
Perhaps I don't know her as well as you do. 

He. I flatter myself I do know more than most 
people about the Lady Flora. 

She (deeply interested). Do you really ? Please 
tell me about her. It is a subject that has a peculiar 
interest for me, too. 

He. I warn you I shall tire your patience, if you 
once let me start. 

She. I promise you I won't let you bore me. 
Have you been acquainted with the Lady Flora 
Somerleas for long ? 



10 LADY FLORA'S NAMESAKE. 

He. Oh, yes ! She is an old favourite. . of mine. 
When I first saw her she had been left to run prac- 
tically wild. I came across her accidentally, when 
she was climbing up a summer-house. Her bold 
free habits took my fancy. I fell in love with her on 
the spot, and determined to see what a little. careful 
culture could do for her. 

She. Do you consider her— er — much to look 
at? 

He. Rather ! She's both showy and effective. 
(Confidentially.) I've discovered the secret of her 
colour. 

She (sitting up abruptly). Secret, of her colour? 

He. ■' It's due to artificial culture. 

She (rising suddenly). Oh ! 

He (rising also, anxiously). What's the matter 
now ? 

She (recovering). Nothing. A button's come off 
my glove. 

He (taking it from her). I'll take care of that. 

(He puts the button carefully in his pocket-case. While 
he does so, she crosses r. to a flower -stand, looking 
him cautiously up and down all the time. ) 

He. To return to the Lady Flora — (she starts) — do 
you object to smoke ? 

She. Not in the least. (He lights up.) You 
were saying — — 

He. I was going to tell you that there is a great 
drawback to her — (puff) — fact, her beauty's quite 
spoilt at times — (puff, puff) — she gets smothered all 
over with black spots. 

She (aghast). Black spots! How horrible! I 
had no idea that she was disfigured in that way— — 

He (smoking reflectively). I've tried all sorts oi 
things for those spots — but they spread so quickly. 
As fast as you get rid of 'em in one place they come 
out }n another. (To her.) I suppose ' you don't 
know of any cure ? 



LADY -FLORA'S NAMESAKE. !! 

She {rather haughtily). I am glad to say I have 
had no experience of the trouble you mention. 

He (still reflectively). Some people say the spots 
are caused by an overdose of strong stimulant. I've 
never given her 'anything but water, but at times I 
have seen her turn out quite unsightly. 

She. This is news to me. 

He. I had an experience on one occasion of tryipg 
her with some stimulant, but she grew simply ram- 
pant — was alb oyer the shop. 

She. What dild you do with her then ? 

He (shrugging). There wasn't much I could do! 
I tied her up and gave her plenty of stick. 

She (in stifled tones). Ah ! (Crosses to settee and 
bangs the cushions.) 

He (contritely). 'There I go ! Like a selfish brute, 
boring you with my experiences 

She (recovering). I'm not bored in the least- 
please go on — I'm tremendously interested — this 
Lady Flora — how old is she, should you think D 
Has she been out long ? 

He. Oh ! She's been out some time. 

She. I understood this was her first season. 

He. No. Lady Flora Somerleas was the rage 
the sensation of the season, about six years ago. 

She. I thought she was confined to the nurseries, 
then ! Isn't she rather — er — forward ? 

He. Forward ? I should think so ! Why, early 
last May, I accepted a week-end at a friend's country 
bungalow, and would you believe it ? When I opened 
my eyes in the morning, the first thing I saw, was 
Lady Flora, already out, peeping in at my bedroom 
window ! 

(Pause. )

(Both stare at ea,ch other in dead silence; ke, with the 
exultant expression of a man who has proved his

point ; she, with an utter lack of any expression 
whatever. ) 

He {moving). That's forward if you like. 

She. Very — (sinking on to settee)— forward. 

He. Of course, if she had belonged to me I should 
have kept her back. (Crosses to back of settee, and 
leans across her.) 

She (faintly). Yes ? 

He. You know what I should have done ? 

She (more faintly). I can't imagine. 

He. I should jolly well have, pinched her. 

She (jumping, and edging away from him with a 
little scream). Pinched her ? 

He (reassuringly). It doesn't hurt ! I believe in 
pinching 'em ! Makes 'em hardy — they are all the 
better for it in the end. 

(He has taken hold of one of her hands, and is pressing 
the fingers, absently, as he speaks.) 

She (withdrawing hands sharply). I don't care 
about pinching, myself. 

He (biting his lip). Sorry ! (He moves slowly round 
to front of settee.) I think I have told you most of Lady 
Flora's points — she's showy, she's a good shape — she 
looks well made up — that's a thing that always interests 
you ladies — and she's really well worth cultivating. 
But there's one thing you can't persuade her to do 
under any circumstances — it's a funny thing — -but 
she's not fond of a tub. 

She. Not fond of a tub ? (Sinking on to settee 
and covering her face with her hands.) Oh ! this is 
too much ! 

He. Great Heavens ! What's the matter now ? 

She (lying back, with closed eyes). Not fond of a 
tub! 

He (greatly alarmed). Are you feeling bad ? 



LADY FLORA'S NAMESAKE. 13 

She {sitting up, tear j id and indignant). Bad ? I 
should think so, indeed ! How would you feel if you 
had had to listen to lies and insults for ten minutes 
on end — — 

He. Lies and insults 

She. Everything you have said is a wicked, wicked 
lie ! I have never had such horrible accusations 
made against me in my life ! 

He {distracted). Great Scott ! she's taken leave 
of her senses ! — I must cool her head — water ! water ! 

{He rushes wildly round and picks up a tall jar of 
flowers standing in the corner r. of the room, and 
dashing the flowers to the ground, prepares to douche 
her.) 



She {starting up, and running to the back of the 
settee). If you dare ! Haven't you been damaging 
my reputation badly enough, without trying to 
damage my new frock as well ? 

He {at his wit's end). I suppose she must be sub- 
ject to these fits ! {Waving his hands.) Calm your- 
self ! Calm yourself ! Nobody is going to hurt 
you ! 

She. You have done your best to do so by your 
cruel and unwarrantable gossip about me. 

He. About you ? Why, my dear lady, I don't 
even know your name. 

She. My name is all you do know about me ! 

He. You are suffering under a delusion. 

She. Is it a delusion ? Can you deny that you 
accused me, here, in my presence, of painting my 
face ? 

He. Painting your face ? I swear I never — — 

She. Take care ! I can repeat your very words. 
You said, I had lately improved my colour by artificial 
culture. 

He. There's some mistake 



1 4 LADY FLORA'S NAMESAKE. 

She. Can you deny that you called' nie: fast ? I 

He. You— fast ? rotau 

She. You said I had bold free habits.* You also 
said I was forward, and ouglit to be ^pinched! 

He. Are you wilfully misrepresenting my re- 
marks ? i'XiiOJ r, 91$ / , , •" 

vShe (sarcastically). Can you deny *that I am 
often covered with spots, and thatldqnlt like washing 
myself ? Y-'S 

He. Really ' -■■; M , ' • . 

She. Oh, yes ! You said I wasn't. fond of a tub, 
or some such slang expression. ' ; . 

He (raising voice)* For Heaven's sake- let me get a 
word in 

She. You have had too many words in, already. 
It is my turn now ! I am not the only person who 
has been favoured with your confidence, for I over- 
heard you telling some man that you saw me first 
when I was climbing up a summer-house, and— 
that you fell in love with me on the spot ! Oh ! 
(sinking into corner of settee and burying face in 
hands) it's shameful ! 

He (approaching her). You might at least tell 
me what the name is, that I've been treating so 
badly. 

She (looking up). Yes, I will tell you now ! • I 
am the victim of your idle boasts— the Lady Flora 
Somerleas. . : > i 

He. Lady — Flora — -Somerleas! '(Takes breath as 
(he truth comes home to him. ) Great Scott: ! ' (Struggles 
with himself for a moment, then bursts i out laugh-- 
mg.) ! a i |j , ; f! 

She (looking at him first in astonishment, then in. 
disgust, and finally in anger). Is that; all the apology 
you have to offer me ? I > 

He (sobering himself, and taking a seat' beside her). 
I must beg your forgiveness, but— (^begins to laugh 
again)-^-it is really too funny — (forcing himself to . 
he serious), it is not I who am guilty of making free- 1 



LADY FLORA'S NAMESAKE. 15 

with your name , the blame attaches to some person, 
or persons, unknown. 

She. ' I don't understand- 

He. The fact is, the subject upon which I have 
been trying to entertain you, from the mistaken idea 
that you were a fellow enthusiast, is the cultivation 
of sweet peas. 

She. Sweet peas ! 

He. Exactly. You mounted me on my hobby- 
horse, and I galloped off, heedless of the effect my 
conversation was having upon you. I offer you a 
bore's sincere apology. 

She. Then the Lady Flora you were talking 
about — — 

He. Was my particular favourite sweet pea. 

She (a sadden idea striking her). Oh ■! 

He {quietly). Now, we are coming to it ! 

She (in jerky reflection). My father's head gar- 
dener — he was — like you — a sweet pea enthusiast — 
and I remember now — he had asked permission to 
call a new variety he had cultivated, after my name. 

He. So we've found the true culprit. 

She {rising, and coming to the front with her face 
in her hands). How could I have been so altogether 
blind and foolish ? 

He {on settee, looking at her tenderly). Yon must 
have thought me a cad ! I am glad I have had a 
chance of clearing my character. 

She {turning to him anxiously). You do under- 
stand how the mistake arose, don't you •? I have 
never thought anything about my namesake from 
that day to this ; and all the things you have been 
saying about your Lady Flora, of course, I took as 
reflections upon myself. I must ask your forgiveness 
for being so dull and stupid. (Holds out hands.) 

He (rising and taking them). After all, perhaps 
some of the things I said about my Lady Flora, as 
you kindly call her. might not be so inappropriate 
after all. 



16 



LADY FLORAS NAMESAKE. 



She. Well — you have certainly never seen me 
climbing up a summer-house. 

He (softly). No — but I have certainly fallen in 
love with you on the spot.
